[Leica] Problem loading film om Paterson spirals

[Gwpics@aol.com]

Since moving to Leica cameras I have had problems loading my film on to 
standard Paterson spirals. At first I thought it was because the spirals were 
old os I bought new ones with no change. I then read that wetting agent can 
make them sticky so I thoroughly washed them in a de-tarring solution, still 
with no effect. And so the saga continues. I think I have tried everything, 
and I would stress that i am no newcomer to this game, I have been deving my 
own film for about 40 years.

I have come to the conclusion that it is caused by the adverse wind of the 
film in the take up spool and that the film needs around 12 hours or so back 
in its cassette to recover.

Has anyone else had similar problems and are there any ways to get over it?
